The National Foundation for Grieving Children, Teens and Families The mission of A Little Hope, Inc. is to help provide grief counseling and bereavement support services to children and teens that have experienced the loss of a parent, sibling or loved one, regardless of the circumstances of the death. The leadership of founding board member and president Richard H. Schimel, Tanhya Vancho, vice president and Amy Liebman Rapp, M.S.Ed., CT along with the support of the Board of Directors, has shaped the groundbreaking direction towards which the foundation has evolved. Prior to the founding of A Little Hope, Inc. – in early 2002 – there was not a single national organization dedicated to raising money to advance the growth of children’s grief support and the expansion of bereavement centers, camps and school outreach programs for grieving children and teens across the United States.

hope and support, they can put their lives together again.

(“ARC”) story is based on discontentment with the failure of the addiction treatment industry. When 95% of individuals relapse or fail within one year of completing residential treatment and young individuals are overdosing at alarming rates, the team at ARC said “there has to be a better way”.
We developed a model and philosophy engulfed with love, compassion and community. These three components are the cornerstone of allowing an individual the opportunity to address core underlying issues that prevent them from being able to maintain long-term sobriety and wellness. Our program is a journey of addressing underlying core issues rather than a “crash course” on the 12 steps.
Family and community are at the forefront of every facet of ARC’s program. Our primary goal is to demonstrate genuine authentic love and compassion for every patient until they are able to provide these qualities for themselves. By providing a model for loving secure attachments and addressing painful core issues such as co-dependency, shame, abandonment and abuse, the patient has the opportunity to re-define learned dysfunctional patterns and definitions and thus begin to develop self-love.
